Back in April, I wrote about two Wool and the Gang raffia projects I still haven’t stopped fantasizing about, and they’ve since added more raffia projects that look super satisfying. Big round retro raffia bags are a bit on trend at the moment, and the new In A Dream Bag (above, bottom) hits that mark. (@sister.mountain made a beautifully lined one for Summer of Basics.) But I’m even more tempted by the smallest-scale project, the Money Honey Clutch (above, top). It looks simple enough for a lifelong crochet novice like me!
Unrelated: I’m working on picking the prize winners from the July #summerofbasics feed! To be announced very soon, hopefully tomorrow!

I just learned to crochet and have been dying to try these!
Oh I love that cute hat you referred to in your WATG Rafia post 💙 I think it would really suit you!
I love this one – currently making it.

Here’s another good one:

I made it in a solid color, a taupe cotton/silk blend, and it came out gorgeous!
I’m more into Market Bags right now, especially the one made by Alice Caetano, aka radiolazy on Ravelry : https://www.ravelry.com/projects/radiolazy/market-bag.
I have been wanting to make one for SOB, but I still can’t figure out how to read a crochet pattern, and I’m not comfortable at all with the specific vocabulary and differences between US-terms, UK-terms, and how do I translate that into French ! I’m working on it hard !
